At the same time, Conan is wandering around the street, when he is found out by Ran. It seems that both are curious about "The Red Sheep". Suddenly, from Beika bridge tunnel, someone in a red sheep coustume appears. However, the red sheep just passes through them. Conan and Ran then go into the tunnel, where they find a dead body.

The next day, Conan, Ran, and the police go to "La Mucho". Kokichi Mukai, the assistant head cook, and Daiki Kamio, the cook, confirm that the knife use to kill Wakabayashi is indeed Wakabayashi's own knife. Later, the restaurant co-owner, Motojiro Hirasawa, arrives. All the three live alone and do not have an alibi. When Conan mention about the red sheep, Kamio seems distrubed. He reveals that people have been talking about the red sheep on a video sharing site recently. There are videos uploaded where the red sheep has been scaring couples on dates and then running off. Later, Conan notices a strange mark in the kitchen.

Kogoro then arrives at the restaurant along with Ryota and Ami. Kogoro suspects that Ryota and Ami might be involved somehow. However, Wakabayashi hardly left the kitchen and never talks to Ryota and Ami, who are floor staff, so they should have nothing to do with the murder. Conan then wonders if Wakabayashi receive a threatening message, but Hirasawa says that Wakabayashi didn't have girlfriend. Suddenly, Takagi recieves a call that there is a threatening message sent to Wakabayashi's computer around 10pm.

The threatening messages is a video, where the red sheep says that they have kidnapped Anri and demanded 50 million yen as the ransom. It is believed that Anri is Wakabayshi's girlfriend, who he recently met through a dating app recomended by Kamio.

Later, Conan asks Kamio to let them see the popular red sheep video. Ran then also take a closer look at the video. Suddenly, both Conan and Ran remember that they have meet the red sheep 10 years ago at a festival. Conan then go to Beika Costume Rental Storeroom, where he found the red sheep costume. It is the same costume used as there is a mark left on the horns after it scraped the ceiling. Unfortunately, he was mistaken as a thief by the owner of the renatl store, Hideto Iwami. Luckily, Kogoro and Ran arrive at the store.

Iwami reveals that recently, the red sheep costume has been stolen during the night and was returned every morning. The last time the costume was rented is three weeks ago, around the time when the red sheep video was uploaded. The person who rented the costume reveals to be Motojiro Hirasawa.

Kogoro deduces that Hirasawa is the culprit, but of course he denies it. It is revealed that the costume is designed by himslef years ago, and he was also the one who wear it. He only rented the costume as he thought to use it for the restaurant's fifth anniversary. However, Wakabaysahi strongly opposed the idea. Conan then mentions that the culprit must have know that Wakabayashi could prepare 50 million yen at 10 pm when banks are closed. Conan also notices Hirasawa looking at the kitchen when the ed sheep mention 50 million yen. Later, they found a hidden safe behind a shelf. There is no 50 million yen inside, instead there is a secret account book. It is reveled that Motojiro Hirasawa and Tetsusaburo Wakabayashi has been doing tax evasion for years. However, Hirasawa is not the murderer, as the costume has been returned three weeks ago, and he might not use his real name when renting the costume if he wanted to commit a crime.

Suspicion then falls to Ryota and Ami. On that day, Hirasawa asked them to hold onto the cardboard box the costume was stored in. Conan deduces that they could have known the content of the box through shipping slip. Kogoro then mentions about the unlocked storeroom door, but Ryota says that there is no way they know that the storeroom's lock is broken, which means they literally know about the broken lock. Later, it is revelaed that "The Red Sheep" that has been scaring couples is Ami Takigawa, while Ryota Beppu recorded and uploaded the video. The motive is that Ami heard about Hirasawa plan to make the staff to wear the costume for the restaurant's fifth anniversary, so they make the video to ruin the sheep's image. However, Ami refuses to tell who told her about the plan, while Hirasawa only told Wakabayashi about it.

Later, Kogoro is sure that they are also the one who kidnapped Anri. Conan then tranquilized Kogoro and start the Sleeping Kogoro dedection show. It is true that Ami Takigawa is involved in the kidnapping, but she disguise herelf as Anri, and pretended to be Wakabayashi's girlfriend, since Wakabaysahi didn't know the floor staff faces and names. Meanwhile, "The Red Sheep" who pretended to kidnap her is Daiki Kamio. The evidences are:

• Both Ami and Kamio called Wakabayashi "Chef", which is Wakabayashi's nickname on the dating app.
• After wearing the red sheep head, Kamio's hair is flattened in the same way as the day before. He admits that his hair flattened yesterday because he was riding bike. However, yesterday he told Hirasawa that he hasn't ride the bike since the accident.
• Some red nylon fibers from the costume stuck on his watch. Conan had instructed him to not move his hand when he made Kamio wear the red sheep head, which means he had touched the costume before today.

Conan through Kogoro deduces that Kamio probably has bugged the kitchen and thats how he knew about the hidden 50 million yen. Ami then reveals that she just use Ryota as an alibi, while she is already with Kamio since a long time ago. However, Kamio admits that their plan is only to take the money, not to kill Wakabayashi. In fact, after Ami went to Beika Park, he put the costume in the car and took a break, when suddenly someone hit him on his head and stole the red sheep costume.

Later, someone is looking for something inside a penguin costume at Beika Costume Rental Storeroom. Suddenly, the red sheep appears and surprises the mysterious person. The person falls down into the floor while hitting the penguin costume, revealing the money hidden inside. The red sheep reveals to be Kogoro, while the mysterious person is Hideto Iwami, who is also the culprit that murdered Wakabayashi. Conan noticed that yesterday he hit his head on the costume. The costume was hanging lower than the other costumes because there is 50 million yen inside it.

Iwami then tells the story. He was tring to catch the culprit who had been stealing the costume at midnight. That night, he saw Ami and Kamio stole the costume and overheard their plan to steal 50 million yen from Wakabayashi. He was mad that they use the costume to steal money like it is a game while his company is about to go bankrupt, so he followed them and take a chance to take back the costume. Iwami then continued the plan to get the money. The plan went well as Wakabayashi obediently placed the bag containing the money. However, when Iwami opened the bag, he found Wakabayashi's knife inside along with the money. Iwami was surprised that he stood up quickly, the horns hit the ceiling, and the red sheep head fell off, revealing his face. Knowing that he was revelaed, he proceeded to kill Wakabayashi.

Aftermath

After the case, Kogoro keeps dreaming about the red sheep that he can't sleep at night. However, Conan feels that it is something else. Kogoro is actually dreaming about him being surrounded by women wearing red sheep head.
